Description
Fci’s Xcede
®
connector platform is designed for 25 Gb/s
performance to provide the headroom to support future
high-speed, serial data rate requirements demanded by
next-generation equipment in data centers and service
provider networks. the use of engineering polymers in a
resonance-damping shield enables very low crosstalk
across a wide frequency range.
Xcede connectors also address requirements for higher
linear signal density at the interface of backplane and
daughter card. signal connectors can be configured with
2, 4 or 6 differential pairs per column, providing up to 82.4
differential pairs/inch, suiting architectures with multiple
front or rear fabric slots and blade systems with cooling
straight through the backplane. complementary guidance
and power modules are also included in the product
range. A wafer organizer can be used to combine groups
of right-angle signal, guidance and power modules as an
integrated daughter-card connector.
the Xcede backplane header system provides the
ruggedness and long-term reliability required by today’s
systems. the wide ground contacts feature a stiffness-
enhancing rib and are advanced well ahead of the signals
for exceptional robustness and signal pin protection.
FeAtures & BeneFits
High-speed backplane system designed for 25 Gb/s
Use of engineering materials in the shield aids in
reduction of crosstalk resonances
1.85 mm column pitch offers high linear signal density
• Configurations with 6 differential pairs/column fit 36 mm
card slot pitch and provide 82.4 pairs/inch
• 4 pairs/column fit 25 mm slot pitch with 54.9 pairs/inch
• 2 pairs/column fit 15 mm slot pitch with 27.5 pairs/inch
Two ground vias between differential pairs allow elongated
antipads to further improve impedance
Optional short compliant pin permits deeper backdrilling and
dual diameter vias to enhance return loss performance
Wide ground contacts feature a stiffening rib and are
advanced well ahead of signals for exceptional robustness
and signal pin protection

• in addition to providing individual right-angle receptacle
signal modules, customized groupings of right-angle
signal, guidance and power modules can be attached to
a single wafer organizer to form an integrated daughter
card connector.
• the wide ground contacts in the vertical backplane
headers feature a stiffening rib that extends near the
tip of the contact and are advanced well ahead of
the signal contacts for exceptional robustness and
signal pin protection.
